Stiftung Warentest: Good versatility (Rating: 1.6)
Service
++ The menu is clear and intuitive. Sorting channels is really easy.
Stiftung Warentest: Good Handling (Rating: 2.3) / Stiftung Warentest categorizes this TV set to use a worse than three Samsung devices. If one has tried with a Samsung times to sort the services, the Panasonic will appreciate. Among the test criteria will be informed that the handling of two experts was assessed. When these two experts always evaluate at the Stiftung Warentest TV sets, then know this both men and what buttons to press immediately. Better it would have been, you would have let laymen test handling. The ETW5 can be super easy to use.
Power Consumption
++ (Energieffiziensklasse A +); The power consumption was made by me with a very good ammeter of Conrad (winner Stiftung Warentest)

++ Design
My conclusion: A great TV with a very good value for money. Due to the less than perfect Panels I forgive a total of 4.5 stars.
